Date People with Disabilities

Would you do it? Date someone who has a handicap? Like deaf, blind, wheelchair and others?

I remember dating an Aqua guy when I was 18 who had to go to dialysis and was prone to seizures. He even let me go to the hospital with him where he does his dialysis treatments. He was a sweet guy however he was pushy on the sex thing, we were both virgins at the time. Only thing that put me off with him is that he slept with another chick. It pissed me off and I left him.

I had a crush on a deaf girl before. She was pretty. But communicating with her was difficult. Only sign language I knew was the middle finger. She didn't like it too well. :/

I have a friend who's deaf & absolutely beautiful, and I'd want to date her if we clicked like that. Physical disabilities aren't really an issue for me; she could be a really pretty floating head for all I care (well, way prettier than Zordon lol).

That's gotta be rough. You spent that time with him and he does that to you. What a fuck.

Yes

I imagine that disability will become a reality for some as people become elderly. Might as well have an open mind towards it now.

I almost did, a wheelchair girl, but everyone around her kept acting like I wasn't worthy enough or up to no good or something (obviously were over-protective) so I backed off. You're generally off to a bad start if her friends dislike you.

I actually think if a guy wasn't able to judge me on how I look before getting to know me as a person they would love me for the right reasons

Disabilities aside, I used to think this about looks (from a woman and man's point of view) but I think it comes down to a person choosing you once their life is in order (good job, emotionally stable, not hung up on a past love). Otherwise you can get people who just are looking to take a step up for now. Then again, I've met people who, once they have been "rescued, " so to speak, have been genuinely happy and 10x the person they were before.

Some ppl don't seem to think about it that way, wanting to wait until you have your ducks in a row before you start seriously dating. I don't feel like a person could fully get to know me without my own space, I would want them to see me in rare form, comfortable and feeding off of each other's energy.

i wouldn't mind hearing the opinion of the person who porked busyeyes

I don't know.

But there is this mom in the NICU who has TBI issues and a very very sick baby that transfered over to cardiac ICU after heart surgery. And she's pregnant again by some other guy she doesn't know and he won't contact her at all. The sick baby is only freakin 2 months old. For the love of god. Who could have unprotected sex and cum inside someone with such severe brain damage... And where the f is her family making sure she doesn't make poor decisions

? That's horrible.

I'm married but in an alternate reality perhaps, for conversation purposes..

Deaf, yes absolutely. Blind, probably especially if high functioning. Anything else.. Hmm, depends on how independent he is.

I dated a Taurus with Asperger's for 3 months, if that counts.

I'm hearing impaired myself and I know sign language so yeah

Physical and learning disabilities, yes. I've done it before.

Mentally ill, probably not.

I would like to date a deaf or dumb person because id like to be in a relationship where you dont have to talk as much lol, I know a bit of sign language so id be able to get by...

There was a deaf guy that used to come into the pub in Canada I worked at.. he would bring a note pad. And we would write back and forth on it. Sometimes it was really funny.

I worked with the blind when I was in college. They behave just like sighted people do. Often they're frighteningly intuitive. They have to be to make up for their lack of sight. I'd date person with disabilities, depending upon the disability. Mental disorders are not for me; I wouldn't want to cope with that as I have two friends with mentally ill husbands and it's really tough. But people with physical disabilities are fine.

Any physical/mental or even social handicaps counts.

My love lost his leg below the knee when he was 18. He stepped on a land mine. He does wear a prosthetic most of the time and it's not something that I never really notice. Actually, one of the things I love about him is how strong he is. He was severely injured and spent over a year in the hospital. He was told that he would never walk again and he came back stronger and more fit than most people.

We aren't together at the moment but I still love and admire him.

I would definitly date a deaf guy!
